Make spellings fun:

For homework, children should choose one of the activities below per week. It doesn’t matter which activity they choose. Homework books should be handed in on Monday, these will be returned on Tuesday so the children have the whole week and weekend to complete their next task. In addition children should read daily. 	
Take a walk around where you live. What do you see? What facilities are there where you live? Write a report of your walk.	Make a model of a shop/building or visitors centre in and around Barnsley. 	Complete a noun, adjective and verb hunt. Keep a tally of the words you use or see during the week. Make a tally chart to show the words. 	Write a list of jobs that need doing in your house. Can you make a reward chart to record when you help your grown-ups?	
What do you want to aspire to? Think of a creative way to showcase your dreams and aspirations.	Learn you 2, 5 and 10 times tables. 	Write a fairy story. Think of your own characters, plot and exciting ending. 	Keep a healthy food diary. What food do you eat that is healthy and what are special treats? Can you create a healthy meal plan for the week?
